SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing and maintaining Playwright tests without a consistent set of best practices leads to flaky tests, brittle locators, and slow CI. This skill provides practical guidance across E2E, component, API, visual, accessibility, and other testing domains to improve reliability and speed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guidance on writing robust tests, debugging failures, and refactoring with Page Object Model and test annotations.
  • Templates for CI/CD configuration, test data management, and test organization across frameworks.
  • Activity-based references that map tasks to relevant references (e.g., core/test-suite-structure.md, debugging, testing-patterns) to load the right context.

Quick Start

Describe your task, e.g., fix this flaky login test, and let the AI apply Playwright best practices to guide the fix.
